GOING: H(8)

Naracoorte Toyota Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.30)  

From the wide gate Min Kiata can cross and lead a race without a great deal of pace on paper. ACHY BREAKY HEART (12) ran a good race on debut at Seymour, very well supported there in what looks a decent maiden, beaten four lengths. He can improve quickly off that and should get every chance kicking up from the inside. MIN KIATA (5) worked home well to grab third here last time out when well backed, beaten 2 lengths. Tough draw but showing promise and has claims. DONE MY JOB (2) did enough first up when fourth over 1300m at Stawell and can improve for a minor placing while JUNO'S SONG (9) made some progress last start to finish seventh over 1400m at Ballarat when lining up for just the second time. Could be an improver at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Achy Breaky Heart on top.
